The kids didn't laugh about his name, but they all played baseball and had lunch together without him. That was the whole problem. No one saw him or talked to him or even knew he was there.So when Telesforo went to school this morning, his head was bowed and his feet kicked at anything on the sidewalk.As usual, his teacher Mrs Benson read to the class from the newspaper, and today Telesforo was surprised when she read about the US Mint (铸币厂) making five special coins every year to honor each of the 50 states.He knew all about those shiny new state coins. He and his dad collected them. Dad gave him a small album to hold them. By the end of the year, Telesforo would have all 50. By the time he was ready for bed that night, he decided to take his coins to school tomorrow.The next day, when the kids settled, Telesforo opened his album and held it high for the class to see. “These are the coins Mrs Benson read about. And this is John Muir on the California coin,” he said, pointing. “Muir wanted to save the wilderness.” Telesforo spoke rapidly as he explained the designs: North Carolina and the first airplane flight. South Dakota, with four presidents carved on Mount Rushmore.“How can I get some of these coins? Why don't we meet after school?” Josh asked. “And Tel can explain everything we need to know.”Tel? Josh just called him Tel? Like they knew he existed? Like they were longtime friends? Telesforo held his album and smiled.

A.glad B.angry C.nervous D.ashamedCChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets cam e running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.8. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and not expensive.C.

The author took great pleasure in biking.DThe history of civil engineering (土木工程) is a very important story in the development of civilization (文明). Civil engineers began practising their profession four thousand years ago.What is left of their work is the proof that they were wise. These engineers of the ancient world built entire cities. They designed systems of pipes which supplied fresh water. They built water pipelines for farmlands as well as bridges of great length. The relics of their buildings tell us much about the work of early engineers.Consider the pyramids(金字塔) of Egypt. They are evidence that some of the earliest engineers had great scientific ability. There is also evidence that those engineers could make lasting work of art and design. Although theylived thousands of years ago, the Egyptian engineers used very exact measurements. The base of the largest pyramid—the Great Pyramid near Giza—comes to within inches of being a perfect square. The pyramid is perfectly placed. Each corner points toward the exact directions of north, south, east and west. The inside of the pyramid is filled with complicated (复杂的) passages (通道). These lead to different rooms inside the pyramid. Many of these passages are of great length and height.The engineers of Egypt did more than design the pyramids. They also set up methods of moving and shaping the building materials. These materials were very heavy. They had to be brought from miles away and sometimes lifted several hundred feet. During the work the engineers commanded thousands of workers. The pyramids remain as evidence of the abilities of the ancient Egyptian engineers.12.The civil engineers of ancient times were wise enough to build entire cities, including ____ .A.systems of pipes, bridges and machineryB.pipeline systems, bridges and farmlandsC.water supply systems, bridges and pipelinesD.water supply systems, bridges and stadiums13. Which of the following is not true about the Great Pyramid of Egypt?A. It was exactly measured.B. It is near Giza.C. Its base is a square.D. It has rooms of great height.14.From the passage we know that ________ .A.building materials were broken into small piecesB.there were no requirements for the size and shape of building materials C.Egyptian engineers were not concerned with the size and shape of building materialsD.building materials were processed (加工) to meet certain requirements15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce to us how the pyramids of Egypt was built.B. To tell us how to move materials in the ancient times.C. To show that the ancient engineers made great contributions in the development of civilization.D. To introduce some great works in the ancient times.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
